CHRONICLES.

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle
And it came to pass in process of time
that the people multiplied exceedingly and
spread upon the face of the earth until the
fairest portions of it were peopled.
And there arose in the latter days 4 ma

They came up through fiery trials trust

HARPER DOINGS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Business has been quiet during the win
ter but is now livening up in a manner
that is very encouraging, to say the least.
We have the assurance of two railroads,
with fair prospects for third, the coming
summer. The work Of surveying and vot-
ing of bonds has already begun on two or
three of these lines-the line from Cald-
well via Freeport, Harper, Iuka and the
northwest and the one from Hutchinson via
Kingman, Harper, Anthony and
through the Territory, and we hope the
Wichita & Trinidad will prove reality
we need it the most.
A petition is being circulated by the
school board and is almost unanimously
signed. asking that bonds be issued to the
amount of $4,000 for another brick
school house The building will undoubt-
edly be completed in time for the fall
opening of the schools. One of our pres
ent two roomy. buildings is a sixroom
brick: the other is frame with three large
rooms. but the grades have the half day
system now-half the pupils attending IN
the forenoon and the balance in the after

seed in this manner upon the earth! Shall
we nurse the children of this generation
and give to them our strength? Nay, we
will avoid this duty; we will hire servants
and let the milk of cows and goats be slv-
en- to the little ones and we will change
our apparel and have our heads shorn and
leave the domestic duties that our mothers
taught US and strive with our brothers and
not listen to the counsel Of our fathers nor
regard the. commands Of God who created
| US.
And many were they who thus followed
evil devices, and from that day virtue be-
gan to lose its charm and vanity to reign
| in its stead, and weak sons and daughters
began to increase even according as the
parents departed from the wisdom of the
Lord, who in wisdom created the heavens
and earth. And many were deceived by
wicked and Drawing woman increased in
power and her followers increased in num-
bers and the peaceful homes became oceans
of strife, and women lost their influence
among men as they increased in folly and
unnatural ways.
| And among men were many of crafty ways
and unrighteous thought. and they reason
ed among themselves, shall we not fall
down and worship this new thing? Shall
we not depart from the ways of our faith
ers? Let us listen to the counsel OF these
women; let US grant their requests and
gather to ourselves great name and be
surrounded with perfumes OF sweet odors
and flowers plucked by the hands that owe
their fairness to the wisdom of Him who
first gave to woman grace Of form, and to
man the sentiment of alteration. Now
foremost among those who were led astray
were the men of one Of the brightest stars
in the new land Of the West, and they
vainly imagined that by departing from
the ways of their fathers they would in
crease happiness and add to the glory Of
the land but they were deceived by cum
ming words and fell into error. And from
the lard there began to go up a cry unto
heaven as the wicked increased and strife
multiplied, and from the cradle to the
grave mans course was one of sorrow be-
cause the people had neglected the com
mands of God and the ways of nature.
And out of affection came wisdom and
the people arose and cast away their Idols
and the men who had hoped for honor
were returned to their pursuits and wisdom
again prevailed and new rulers were chosen
who could not be beguiled by cunning
speeches and sweet flowers, and the people
returned to the ark of their covenant and
virtue reigned in the hearts OF their rulers
and the mothers again sought the paths OF
peace and again reigned in the hearts Of
their kindred and gave to their homes the
sweet influence Of love and the unnatural
desires were forgotten. And again heaven
smiled upon the land while the evil minded
were forgotten and lost as virtue and senti-
ment returned to gladden. the homes OF the
people.
And thus was the Maker of the earth
made triumphant in wisdom and the wiles
of the wicked defeated, even the host of
them were brought low and the virtuous
exalted and none were left to bestOw
flowers npon men of foolish imaginations.

ANGRY WITH THE LABOR PARTY

The wohiingmen who have joined the United
Labor party now begin to realize the value Of
Democratic interest in their welfare. 80 long
as they were ready to act a. the tail to the
Democratic kite tho hall bosses were will
ing to furnish them money for election cN-
pcnses and to pass any number of resolutions
to please them, without any intention Of ever
carving them into effect. But since these
workingmen have really set up for themselves,
without any apparent intention OF voting the
Democratic State ticket, the :" hall bosses r
and their Mugwump allies cannot restrain their
anger. The United Labor party leaders arc
denounced as merccnary and dishonest and
are accused of having entered into deal
with the Republicans.
This Is the explanation Of the senscless cry
Of deal in the appointment OF the addi-
tional inspectors OF election provided by act OF
tho last Legislature. In order that the law
should not be nullilcd, clause was inserted
in the statute providing that the inspectors
should be named by such member Of the
Police Board as was designated by the chair
man and secretary of the United Labor organi-
zaton The Police Board Is made up Of two
Democrats and two Republicans Because
tho Labor leaders did not choose Democratic
Commissioner to act for them the Democrats
and Mugwumps set up shout Of a " deal
with the Republicans and Commissioner Nc
Clave Is at once demolished by being dubbed
a johnny Yet all this Commissioner will
have to do is to choose responsible men from
the names submitted to him by the United
Labor party.
Without hszarding their chances to get any
inspectors the Labor leaders could not have
chosen a Democratic Commissioner to do this
work. The Democrats in the Legislature

4 torch or SYMPATHY.

Matthew Arnold while bitterly opposed TO
Mr.. Gladstone's scheme Of Home Rule did
much to prepare the way for it. His &" Irish
Essays written at a period when the two
great political partics were giving unbroken
support to coercion, contained so many novel
and diStastcfu ideas that he apologizcd in his
preface for publishing them at all, saying non
chalantly that he did not expect any one to
agree with him. but merely wanted to see how
the chapters would read twenty years after.
One Of his leading propositions was this The
English people in order to attach Ireland to
them solidly, ''havc not only to do something
different from what they have done hitherto !:
they have also TO be something different from
" hat they have been hitherto " As whole.
he added, &" they have to acquire larger and
swectcr temper, larger and moro lucid mind
His argument tended TO prove that English
treatment Of the island had been essentially
unsympathctic, and that the prejudiccs, ca
prices, prepossessions and pcculiarities on
temper united In Irish character had been per-
sstcnty misunderstood by the lawmakers.
Mr. Arnold, instead OF waiting score OF years
to find out how his essays would read, ought to
have promptly disccrncd in Mr.. Giadstonc'S
conversion 10 Home Rule the tendencies Of his
own teaching. The Liberal statc,man's chief
proposition was the fact that English law in
ireland had an alien and uncongcnial aspect.
that the people there were not in sympathy
with it, and that something must be done to
invest it with the moral force Of National
opinion. This was substantially Mr. .Alnold's
idea Of "bcing something different from
what the English had been hitherto.
The meeting at the Dublin Rotunda is fore
ibIc illustration of that sympathetic treatment
which Mr.. Arnold recommended when
Mr.. Gladstone himself was Coer-
zionist delegation of five English
and Scotch Liberals, headed by John
Brights younger brother appeared upon
the platform with the leaders OF the Irish
cause and denounced the proclaiming OF the
National League. Some Of the visitors act
ua'ly joined the organization which the Tory
Government has pronounced hostile to tho
Union, and other Liberal members Of Parlia-
mcnt who could not be present sent subscrip-
tions to its fund. These evidences OF personal
sympathy and moral support from their Eng
lish allies electrified the vast cOncOursc of
lrishmcn. The presence of the visitors, as
+ Mr.. Gill we'll said in his dispatch In yesterdays
TRIBUNE, seemed to seal the union of the
British and Irish dcmocracics. lrishmcn who
used 10 declare that they could not hope for
Justice at Westminster, because their peculiar
grievances were never understood there, must
now conccdc that their generous allies have
made the Home Rule cause their own. The
Rotunda meeting evolved an Illuminating
flash of mutual appreciation.

opposed the passage Of the act until thcy
found that it would be passed in spite OF
them. Now one of the Democratic halls
has put in a ridiculous claim before the Police
Board that it is the party designated in this
statute, and there is an apparent willingness
on the part of the Democratic Commissioners
to support this claim if thereby the Labor
party can be cheated out of its inspectors.
Moreover, Henry George and his followers
believe that he was defraudcd last year by
Democratic manipulation of the election re-

MORNINGSIDE PARK

The Park Board has invited Messrs Omsted
& Vaux to prepare plans for the completion
of Morningsidc Park. This is commendable
in so far as it recognizes the need OF advice
from competent designers. But it should be
remembered that the large legislative appro-
priaton was granted for the Improvement OF
Riverside and Central parks as well, where
the need of professional counsel is still moro
urgent. But why consider the special dill
culties of any section of the general park
system which obviously demands a single,
comprehensive and consistent plan ? DOCS
the Park Board propose special contract
with landscape architects for Mornlngsldc
with the understanding that there is no further
occasion for their services Commissioner
Crimmins has already presented plan Tor
a parkway to Riverside. Whether the design
was elaborated by the Commissioner himself
or by the real estate brokers who devised inc
Plaza plans does not appear. But 1t would
seem to be wiser to appoint landscape archi-
tects Of known ability and responsibility Tor
the entire work than to farm it out piecemeal
to amateurs.
Last wear the Commissioners informally agreed
TO engage Mcssrs. Omsted & VauX for term
of years, but failed for reasons which have
not been made public to make an Official raul
fcation of this agreement THE TRIBUNE
approved of this measure when it was an
nounccd as the purpose Of tho Board. An
appointment on these terms should have been
made yesterday. If, however, Messls. Ohm
stcd e. Vaux see their way clear to take
charge of Mornngside alone, the people OF
the city will feel assured that a portion at
least of tho $4,000 appropriation will be
expended to the best purpose.
